    Can I ask the best place to pick one of these beauties up? Ebay? Craigslist? Thanks for any input.

    My Birth Year Razor, a 1949 Super Speed, is currently undergoing a Silver replate at Razorplate.com.

    I must have gotten very lucky. I got my birth quarter Slim Adjustable M2 with only about 3 weeks of trolling the Bay.

    Don't you hate when that happens? Lost my nice gold tech to the wife.

    I picked up a short handle '70 SA about a month ago. I like it better than the long handle version.

    I had three '57 Super Speeds (birth year) and didn't like any of them. All have been sold. May try a red tip 57.

    I got mine off ebay, i got really lucky as it was one of the only super adjustables on at the time and it happened to be my birthyear. I got into a little bidding war for about 3 days and came out at about 42$ ish plus shipping.

    My first vintage was a 57 SS. I like it quite a lot. Not as much as my Fatboy or my Slim, but....

    My BYR is a Slim. I like it pretty well, but at last poll, my Black Beauty was just slightly ahead of both the Slim and the FatBoy! :shocked003:

    However, the polls are not closed. In fact all of the electorates have gone on siesta. I am not sure that I will ever have a winner in the race for Supreme Razor of the Free World.
